“with part of Pensilvania, and New England, from an actual survey by Captain Montressor, engineer, 1775. P. Andrews, sculp.”
John Montresor served as the Chief Engineer to Sir William Howe’s army. During the Revolution he was stationed in Boston. He wrote in his journal, “We are just now an army without provisions a rum artillery for Besieging; scarce any ammunition; no clothing, nor any money. Somewhat dejected by Burgoyne’s capitulation, and not elated with our late manoeubres, such as Donop’s repulse, and the Augusta and merlin being burnt and, (to complete all,) blockaded.”
